New York Times bestselling master of mystery Phillip
Margolin transcends his traditional territory in this new
and different book, a haunting thriller inspired by an
unforgettable photograph.
Visiting an art museum displaying a retrospective of
acclaimed photographer Kathy Moran's work, aspiring
novelist
Stacey Kim is stunned by the photo at the center of the
show—the famous "Woman with a Gun," which won a Pulitzer
Prize and launched the photographer's career.
Shot from behind, the enigmatic black-and-white image is a
picture of a woman in a wedding dress, standing on the
shore
at night, facing the sea. Behind her back, she holds a
six-shooter.
The image captures Stacey's imagination, raising a host of
compelling questions. Has the woman killed her husband on
their wedding night? Is she going to commit suicide? Is
she
waiting for someone she plans to kill?
Obsessed with finding answers, Stacey discovers that the
woman in the photograph is Megan Cahill, suspected of
killing her husband, millionaire Raymond Cahill, with the
six-shooter on their wedding night. But the murder was
never
solved.
Drawn deeper into the case, Stacey finds that everyone
involved has a different opinion of Megan's culpability.
But
the one person who may know the whole story—Kathy
Moran—isn't talking.
Stacey must find a way to get to the reclusive
photographer
or the truth may never see the light of day.
